MilitaryCarLot.com caters to the world-wide U.S. military community where there is a strong bond of trust, honor, and respect.  This community includes active duty, retirees, guard, reserve, government civilians, all veterans, and the people that support the military by a shared passion for the mission.  A buyer or a seller in this community is generally very comfortable within this community and prefers doing business with each other.  If you are part of this greater military community, MilitaryCarLot.com is YOUR Military Car Lot Online. 

The drive behind the scenes making this happen is a sincere and unpretentious team of military and non military people who are determined to deliver an awesome online military car lot for the military... a preferred choice.  We are a private initiative, not associated in any way with the DoD.  We are delivering this advertising service to enhance the military community’s quality of life.  Our singular purpose is to help the military community.

Almost every U.S. military base has a used car lot, or resale lot, where members of the military community park their vehicles to sell ... cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, campers, trailers ... any licensed vehicle. The resale lot is popularly called the "Lemon Lot" ... an unofficial, jestful term of endearment.  But these vehicles are not lemons.  The purpose of the Lemon Lot is to help the military buy or sell their vehicles within the military community with no hassles, scams, or fraud.  And quickly ... often because of short-notice deployments or orders to move.  The Lemon Lot at overseas bases has an even higher demand for trust-worthy, quick sells with no hassles because of the unknowns about the market off base.  Taken together--in the U.S. or overseas--the Lemon Lot has been making a popular name for itself at our worldwide U.S. military bases and is an important part of the military family's life.

We are interviewing sponsor candidates to keep this service affordable for the military community.  Our vision for our sponsorship program is to position military-friendly and military-focused businesses to show support of the military community.  In turn, we will help get the word out of your services as a "friend of the military".   A business that sponsors MilitaryCarLot.com will directly support the troops.  And we commit to making you famous for it.

The Military Car Lot Online was conceived in the land of the internet in December 2000 and it went live on Veteran's Day, 11 November 2007.  The initial launch address was LemonLot.com.  This initial release was available in 50 states plus DC as a free offering.  Our goal during our intense design period was to create a revolutionary, powerful, and awesome advertising tool based on a powerful database design that rivals any online automobile advertising service.

With great anticipation and excitement, we launched the newest phase with full features to all U.S. military bases, including Europe and Asia.  Our overseas launch date for coincided with our one-year anniversary: Veteran's Day, 11 November 2008.  This new release was significant.  It delivered 75+ more bases (Asia and Europe).  And the new vehicle ad design had three display packages that offer more options to get more visibility to your ads.  As we started generating revenue from deluxe and premium ad packages and business advertising, we started gaining ground to sustain our operations (which is not cheap) and give back proceeds to the troops.

In June, we released some nice enhancements to make the search process even more user friendly.  You can now view our newest ads with our new flash banner on the home page.  And the search pages have a better base listing feature.  Our main focus this year is to increase viewers through a far-reaching marketing campaign.  Mission focused -- to help the military community. Then on our 2nd anniversary -- Veteran's Day, 11 November 2009, we established MilitaryCarLot.com.  This new web address is an important strategic move.  Although we will always have LemonLot.com active, the new MilitaryCarLot.com name will help to secure a more confortable acceptance in our global used vehicle buyer and seller market that may not know our nostalgic history of the base Lemon Lot.
